Students gain an understanding of how systems and organs in the human body work. They create their own fictional account of a trip through the human body, and describe one response the body makes to stimuli.

The human body can be a mystery, or at least a riddle. Fifth graders pair up and use Photostory to create a riddle relating to a human body part and how it functions in the body system. They will compose a riddle, use a story board, take...

Explore human anatomy and physiology using models. Scholars study systems of the human body and design a display for a museum exhibit. To complete the activity, individuals create analogous models of their chosen human body systems.

Students research systems of the human body. In this biology lesson plan, students read the book Yucky Story and identify the systems of the human body. Students create a Powerpoint presentation to demonstrate their knowledge of the...

Students identify features of the human body, explore needs of the human body by explaining the importance of good health in relationship to the body, and study functions and care of the human body and its organs.

Kids love superheroes, and for this assignment they create a comic about Captain Oxygen! Direct your class to make sure that their knowledge of the respiratory system is displayed through the dialogue. Note that though the publisher has...

Students brainstorm a list of potential uses for micro-video technologies. After reading an article, they analyze the development of a new pill-sized camera. In groups, they create a children's book that shows them the various systems of...

High schoolers complete a chart/graphic organizer based on the reading passage and locate specific information within the reading passage to complete the Human Body Cells Chart. They then utilize the Human Body Cells Chart to complete...

Students read "The Magic School Bus in the Human Body" and discuss the importance of maintaining a healthy body. They create a hinge and joint paper skeleton, follow the journey of a hamburger through the digestive tract, jump rope and...

Students identify the systems of the human body and their functions. They illustrate the systems to investigate where and how they function in the body. Afterward, they layer these systems to comprehend the depth and dimension of the...

First Graders practice using the names of body parts by finding pictures and placing them in the correct position on a life-size outline of a human body. These type of hands-on lessons are one of the best ways for young learners to truly...

Students research major organs the skeletal system of the human body. They identify the function of the human skeleton and organ systems and then create a life-sized outline of their bodies and draw the skeletal system and major organs...

Students have sensory experiences with the sweet smell of discovery. In this early childhood science lesson, students use their sense of smell as they create and compare their very own fragrance essences with a variety of provided...

Students consider the affects of space travel on the human body. In this human physiology lesson, students compare how the 5 different body systems work on Earth and in Space. Students then design a product that an astronaut could use as...

This carad activity helps students explore detailed facts and scientific procedures around the human body and its cells. In this stem cell lesson, students utilize different colored flash cards to represent different types of human...

Students research information about the human body. They read books and explore the Internet to gather information about the human body. Students create graphic representations and models of the body systems. Working in groups, they...

The identification of various parts of the human body is the focus of this biology lesson. Young scientists sing the song "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes," and trace the human body onto butcher paper. Additionally, they label the parts...

Kids consider how the body functions and moves, how each structure has a specific movement and purpose. They apply that idea as they construct a sculptural piece that moves. For inspiration they look to the work of Alexander Calder,...

Students identify the functions of various body parts. They participate in the "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" song, draw a picture of themselves and other mammals, and create a traced outline of their body that they add features to....

Learners study that the human body is made up of different systems whose functions are related. They draw and label their traced body outlines which include at least five body systems.

Sixth graders record a video. In this skeletal system lesson plan, 6th graders review what they already know about the skeletal system and then watch a presentation. Students work in groups to discuss what they learned and write a script...

Students examine the muscular system. In this muscular system lesson, students first draw a realistic representation of their leg or arm bones. Students do several activities to attach these bones to "joints" with string to simulate...

Sixth graders explore the human body by viewing video clips. In this digestive system instructional activity, 6th graders discuss what they think happens when they swallow food. Students view a Brain Pop clip demonstrating the digestion...

Learners explore the major systems and functions of the human body. In this anatomy lesson, middle schoolers make life-size outlines of bodies, diagram body systems, and present their work to their classmates.
